Erling Haaland kicked off the forwards’ summer transfer window by signing for Manchester City. Kylian Mbappé, Robert Lewandowski, Sébastien Haller, Darwin Nuñez, Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mané or even Romelu Lukaku could also leave their club this summer and ignite the market.
At the end of the contract at Bayern Munich in 2023, Robert Lewandowski wishes to leave the German club this summer according to several concordant sources after being disappointed with the lack of consideration of its leaders. His name has been associated with Barça for several weeks, but Bayern had closed the door until then, publicly repeating that the Pole would stay, even if he did not extend his contract.
Barça ready to seize the opportunity

Bavarian leaders and Lewandowski’s teammates have reportedly noticed the Pole’s annoyance in recent weeks and many are wondering if it’s a good idea to keep him against his will. Some would even welcome his departure on a sporting level, believing that the team would be more unpredictable offensively without him.

For that to happen, however, Bayern will need to find a quality replacement for the Pole, which seems to be Bayern’s main difficulty at the moment…
